Features:

Support for local or remote backup locations, including Amazon S3
Securely encrypts and compresses your data
Incrementally backs up, letting you restore from any particular backup
Schedules regular backups
Integrates well into your GNOME desktop

In the Terminal Activity, first switch users to the root user,Then install the software,

Use the same soas.iso to make a replacement USB device for Restoration.
